In his latest book, Barry continues to explore the lives of the Irish McNulty family who are at the centre of The Secret Scripture (bwl 53) and The Whereabouts of Eneas McNulty (bwl 57). Written in his lilting prose, this time the narrator is Jack, Eneas's brother, haunted by his memories of the past. Fans of Barry won't be disappointed but if you read this one first, the others are a must.
